About Alpha Capital Group

Alpha Capital Group is one of the most established European prop firms and a natural cross-shop for traders weighing FTMO, The Funded Trader, or E8 Markets. With three evaluation paths (1-step, 2-step, and the 3-step Evolution programme), Alpha covers every trader profile without forcing a single rulebook.

Where FTMO locks traders into a bi-weekly cycle and E8 Markets caps splits at 80%, Alpha offers on-demand payouts once the 40% best-day and 2% profit conditions are met, plus a maximum allocation of $400K per trader — higher than most direct competitors. The firm has publicly reported $100M+ paid to 100,000+ traders, a track record only FTMO and FundedNext can match.

Traders comparing Alpha Capital Group vs FTMO, FundedNext, or The Funded Trader typically choose Alpha for its flexibility across evaluation types and the ability to unlock faster payouts by performance.
